The Annrpllisf.

The Little Princess Theater, on Madison street, near Osien avenue. was last week crowded with the sym. pathizerS of the condemned anar- chijts and admirers of George Francis Tram. It WAS nearly 5 o'clock when this strange man tip-toed his way up the central aisle an 8 pair of patent leather pumps, suit ot black clothes and par of old lavender gIovcs. In hlS arms he carried two paste board boxes. One was filled with small b3u. quets, the other with grapes. These he distributed am png the reporters. Then he walked out in front of his audience, and shaking one of his buff colored fingers al the crowd, declared he was born on top of mountain. He then drew several diagrams on the blackboard to show the commuaica- ton between himself and the rest of the world, He was sure they would hang the condemned anarchists. This was plain to him because he could see everything from mountain top. They could not hang meu for being accessories to the principals when they were not known. If they hanged the condemned anarchists, they should hang Dennis Kearney and all the editors of the San Francisco news papers for melting the fatal Chiuese riots m Wyoming three years ago.
 He declared thlt the stars and stripes were good enough for hun, but saw nothing wrong in carrying dyn- am.te in ones vest pocket and keep. ing bombs in the honse. In losing this meeting he asked all those In favor of watching the reporters every morning to say Aye" The propcsl. ton was carried by an overwhelming majority.
 In the evening MT. Train spoke to about 800 people m the same ram- bling lnCoherent way. Towards the close of the meeting drunken an. archist aroused the audience and denounced the police in most bit ter speech. MT. Train, fearing trou- pie would arise If the man was not speedily thrott'ed, leaped into the crowd, and by rare good manage ment succeeded in dIsmIsSing the peO- ble without troI ole. 1t Is probabl 6 that the polt>e will put stop to MT.

"The sun doth nourish Agues, therefore in the Summer mouths it is only a measure of common prudence to guard against malarious diseases, intermittent levers, agues and bilious attacks.
 "Many cases of Fever and Ague, Dumb Ague and Congestive ChilIs were promptly arrested and entirely banished by the use of Simmons Liver Regulator.

A Postal Convention.

Superintendent Bell of the Foreign Mails division of the Postoffice De, partment Ii endeavoring to close d convention with the South and Cen tral American Governments and es. tahllSh between these countries and the United States purcell post. Uh- doubteily such an arrangement would be popular, particularly among those who would like to avoid the present cumbersome and tiresome methods The weight of each package will be limited to eleven pounds. The limit of length is two feet, and glrth four feet. The package must be so wrapped that it can be examined without much trouble, and if any dutiabIe goods are included, custom house declar- ation of the contents is to be attached to the package and the custom house dues of each country respectively are to be paid on delivery. Publications which violate the Copyright laws, poisons and explosive materials and all offensive substances, small or oth- erwise, are to be excluded. The pack ages are to be forwarded at the same rate of postage as now prevails in the United States.
 A number of the countries to be parties to the arrangement have sig nifed a willingness to enter the ar rangement It is thought that it will do much to increase commerce be tween the countries concerned. The port of San Francisco would proba- ply be benefited more than any other in the United States. All the leading cities in Central and Sonth America are on the Pacific Coast, and such merchandise as they would send to this country would come by the way of San Francisco and would undoubt- edly add much to the coasting trade centering at that point.
